What is Hyperlocal advertising?

The ability to communicate with consumers at a very small geographic level is called Hyperlocal Advertising. Typically if one can target their ads at a Pincode level or a locality level, it comes under hyperlocal advertising. In recent times with the advent of digital the ability to target customers increased manifold. A far cry from Television days when the brand had to compulsorily advertise nationally, digital brought in the ability to target customers at a much smaller scale. This worked well for the advertisers and in turn for the consumers. Now the consumers were not bombarded with ads that were not relevant for them. Over a period of time advertisers started demanding offline media options also to behave the same way and give them the ability to target at a hyperlocal level. This demand led to the advent of a new generation of advertising options called hyperlocal advertising. Advertisers could pinpoint their communication at the level of locality, Pincode, areas of work, residential areas, and areas around their business. At The Media Ant, any digital media that can be executed and targeted at the Pincode level is considered a Hyperlocal advertising option. For offline, any media that can be targeted at a locality level is considered HYperlocal.
